Eyeliner / Eyeliner Enhancement
The Difference You’re Looking For
Permanent eyeliner and permanent eyeliner enhancement are both cosmetic tattooing techniques that involve the application of pigment along the lash line, offering long-lasting results and eliminating the need for daily eyeliner application.
PERMANENT EYELINER
Permanent eyeliner is a semi-permanent tattoo that mimics the appearance of applied eyeliner. It involves the precise application of pigment along the lash line and, if desired, on the eyelid to create a bold, more defined look. Depending on the client’s preference, the style can range from a soft, natural look to a thicker, more dramatic eyeliner design, similar to traditional makeup.
WHAT TO EXPECT
1. Consultation: You’ll discuss the desired thickness, shape, and color of the eyeliner with the artist.
2. Numbing: A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
3. Procedure: Using a fine needle, the artist applies the pigment along the lash line or on the eyelid. The procedure typically lasts about 1-2 hours.
4. Healing: There will be slight swelling, and the color may appear darker for the first few days before softening as it heals over 7-10 days. Full results are visible after the healing process.
5. Longevity: Permanent eyeliner can last 1-3 years, with touch-ups recommended for maintenance.
PERMANENT EYELINER ENHANCEMENT
Permanent eyeliner enhancement (or lash line enhancement) is a subtler version of permanent eyeliner. It focuses on applying pigment very close to the lash line, rather than creating a noticeable eyeliner design. The goal is to give the appearance of thicker, fuller lashes by darkening the lash line, offering a more natural, eye-enhancing look.
WHAT TO EXPECT
1. Consultation: Discuss the level of intensity and placement of the pigment along the lash line.
2. Numbing: Similar to the permanent eyeliner process, numbing cream is applied for comfort.
3. Procedure: The artist deposits pigment directly in between the lashes (rather than above or below the lash line), making the eyes look naturally defined and the lashes appear fuller.
4. Healing: The healing process is similar to that of permanent eyeliner, but since the enhancement is subtler, any swelling or healing issues tend to be milder.
5. Longevity: Lash line enhancement can last 1-2 years, with touch-ups recommended for upkeep.
KEY DIFFERENCES
-
Permanent Eyeliner: A bolder, more makeup-like look. It can vary in thickness, shape, and style.
-
Eyeliner Enhancement: A more natural, less obvious result that enhances the appearance of the lash line without looking like traditional eyeliner.
NB: Both procedures offer convenience and are great options for those who want to streamline their beauty routine.
OMBRE SHADED EYELINER
The ombre shaded eyeliner is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that combines the definition of permanent eyeliner with a soft, gradient shading effect, creating a more polished and multidimensional look. This technique adds a subtle "smoky" effect to the traditional eyeliner, giving a gradient appearance that goes from darker near the lash line to lighter as it moves upward. It’s a popular option for those who want a more dramatic, yet elegant eyeliner look without the daily hassle of applying makeup.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OMBRE SHADING
1. Consultation:
The artist will discuss your desired look, including how thick and dramatic or soft and natural you want the shading effect to be.
You’ll also select the pigment color, often black or dark brown, but other colors can be used based on preference.
2. Numbing:
A numbing cream is applied to the eyelids to ensure the procedure is comfortable. Since the eyelid area is sensitive, this step is crucial.
3. Procedure:
The artist uses a digital machine with a fine needle to apply pigment along the lash line, just like traditional permanent eyeliner.
After the line is defined, the artist will then softly shade the area above the eyeliner, creating an ombre or gradient effect. The shading can be subtle or more pronounced depending on your preference.
This shading gives a more blended, smoky look, as opposed to the crisp, solid line of a standard permanent eyeliner.
The procedure can take between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the look.
4. Healing:
The healing process for ombre shaded eyeliner is similar to that of traditional permanent eyeliner:
Day 1-3: Eyes may be slightly swollen and the color will appear much darker initially.
Day 4-7: Some scabbing may occur, and the color may fade as the skin heals.
Day 7-14: The color lightens and softens as the skin continues to heal, revealing the final ombre-shaded effect.
Full healing takes about 2-4 weeks, and a touch-up session may be needed 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure.
5. Aftercare:
Keep the eye area clean and avoid touching or rubbing the area.
Avoid makeup and skincare products around the eyes until healing is complete.
Avoid direct sun exposure and follow any aftercare instructions given by the artist, such as applying healing ointments.
BENEFITS OF OMBRE SHADED EYELINER
-
Smoky Effect: Adds depth and dimension to the eyes, offering a more blended and polished look.
-
Customizable: The shading can be adjusted to achieve either a subtle or dramatic effect, based on individual preference.
-
Long-Lasting: Like other forms of permanent eyeliner, ombre shading can last 1-3 years, with touch-ups needed to maintain the look.
NB: This procedure is ideal for those who want more than just a simple eyeliner but don’t want the hassle of creating a smoky eye look every day. The ombre shaded eyeliner provides a softer, more gradient finish compared to traditional permanent eyeliner.
